here is a build tailor made just for you... i went with a HAF 932 Black edtion because it has the same features as the HAF X and cost less, plus it has a a nice big window to show off your new rig. i have the HAF X and kinda wish i had gone with the HAF 932 black edition. but dont let me keep you from what you want, if you want the HAF X go for it.

Thanks man that looks like a killer build, i do like the HAF X for increased airflow but ill def keep the 932 in mind

 

[Sean W.]

that will be able to play any game at absolute maxed resolution and graphics settings.


i didnt include a CPU cooler because you said you are going to go water... so you will have to wait to overclock anything untill you get a cooler on your processor
